Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

🙋♀️Hi Leon 😊
I wish it were my day of rest. That cat looks like Mittens, a cat my parents adopted at one time. She had an extra toe on each front paw and thus the name. She sure Loved the Lani at my parents winter home in Port Charlotte. No lizard had a chance if Mittens was around.
That looks just like my Penny 🥰
Good morning, Leon. Blessings, sir.🙏
Looking “comfty” there (as my granddaughter used to pronounce it when she was little…makes perfect sense to me😉)
Good Sunday morning, Leon!

Bless you Garrison. This is a beautiful way to start this bless-ed Sunday morning. I appreciate all your wonderful music.
🙂
Mornin’ jay, Mornin Gramps. Ugh, what time is it . . . ???
Something o’clock…so says my body clock. I give myself about a week to completely adjust.
From Barcelona . . . Here are some classic Joan Chamorro jazz pieces. 🙂

Howdy Garrison 🙂
hiya, jay 🙂
Hi there, Jay😎
Looooved that first song; whoa!!!✝️❤️❤️❤️
-Nice transition too.
Morning Garrison!
Gracious and Bless-ed Sunday morning to my guys, Mr jay, Garrison, and G.
All y’all present and accounted for…it’s going to be a good day😘🙏
Bless you Betsy 🙂
Reminds me of how we used to take a cuppa…always in a china cup…and the then wonderful Sunday papers (the Telegraph) to the top of the garden, and sat on the magnificent deck my husband built, all by his lonesome, overlooking the stunning Welsh valley. Sheep to the right of us, sheep to the left of us, and sheep behind us in the fields which surrounded our little bit of heaven.
And it was heaven…which I am so grateful we recognized at the time, and remember now.
Thank you, Mr jay, for your beautiful reminder.😘
Okay Betsy let’s see if I can get a chuckle out of you? I would have been terrified with all those democrats surrounding me. Sheeple 🤣😂
Eureka!! 😂😂😂!! Ain’t it the truth. Never thought of that, but how right you are😁
It sounds like quite beautiful country for sure, love places like what you described to meditate on Gods creation and his word
🙏🏻🙏🏻
It was that…disturbed sometimes by the RAF low flying jets which used our long valley for their practice runs low to the ground. If we were on the road driving home, those jets which appeared out of nowhere were flying so low they were actually below our car, so that for one brief second we could see the pilots. Fascinating.
Then there were the big lumbering Hercules aircraft which flew directly over us. It always amazed me they didn’t drop out of the sky, they were flying seemingly so slowly. The size of them!!! Question the sight, I can tell you!
Good morning Bet! Have a blessed day ❤️😘.
And you, G. I guess back out into the blind?
Our beloved daughter has asked us over for an English breakfast. We haven’t seen the grands in so long as they are all busy with school and work, so this is one day when they are all home. We’ve missed them dreadfully.
Anyway, as is her wont, she has been on a mission to find some Black Pudding and proper thin cut marmalade, with no success…but EUREKA!! She finally found some, and despite working long, never-ending hours, has got all the ingredients for the full English breakfast. I’m not to tell my hubby. It’s a surprise for him.
I will demur on the BP. But he will be so touched by her Herculean efforts.
Blessings, G, to you, and of course to all your kith and kin…hugs for Nipper next time you see him😘🙏
So lovely….
It was, Patience…and good morning to both you girls!🤗🤗. The company alone was such a blessing.
Last night the twin grandlads took a friend from work to a Haunted House venue. One of them fancies her, and his brother came for moral support. So a date, not a date.
The not date said to not come to the door but my daughter told them both to go, knock, look the policeman dad in the eye, introduce themselves and shake hands…which of course they did.
My not date grandson took me aside and said that when they were walking to the eatery they all went to for dinner, a Mexican food place downtown, he walked on the outside next to the curb, as I had told them so so many years ago.
I can’t tell you how shocked that that lesson I delivered long ago stuck. I am so proud of him. Then, as it was her birthday, they both had a secret word with management when they went in so that she received a free special dessert, which I thought was sweet.
I just hope she is the type of girl who appreciated the chivalry shown. I really really really do…
Sigh . . . a “not date” with a pretty girl taught me an important lesson—you can have good women friends who are not necessarily romantic interests. And some of those become lifelong, like family, friends who’ll have your back and never let you down. Some men—to their great loss—never, ever, seem to learn that important lesson.
Oh my, Garrison. What you speak is the truth.The other grandlad has more friends who are girls than guys. And I had a roommate at UT who had tons of boys flocking around her who were her “brothers”. In my ignorance I took this to mean something else entirely. But I came to understand it very well.
In the UK, it was unheard of to have a date at the ages my grandlads are…17… the young at that age all went out as a group. I found this so healthy.
And it is a great loss that there are men do not understand this concept. What they’d reap from knowing it has no price.
But also, I think young women have lost a great deal as well, as it seems there are more than not who have sacrificed their femininity for a mess of potage today. Then they complain men don’t treat them with respect.
As a meme I found said, ” When women today ask where chivalry went, I just say it went wherever femininity has gone”.
Both of mine have friends of both sexes…good ones. But their mother did at their age, and still does. I want them to be gentlemen, so started early on dishing out tips and home truths…hoping it will serve them well as they get older. So far, so very good.😊
awwwww 🥰🥰🥰
The foundation has been set.
How swell to want Grandma to know .
Yes, heart swoon ,,,,, and be proud.
It did,Patience….it was years ago I passed on that piece of etiquette. Who’d have thought something that simple would be remembered? That means the library of other more substantial things I’ve passed on have stuck. I am so grateful…😌
Morning and blessings to you, Bet. 🙂
😘!!!
Happy… Sunday, Pa❣️❣️❣️
What a glorious way to start a Sunday morning.. once again, thanks Garrison
Yep. Chamorro’s kids are pretty impresive. And to think the school he’s at appears to be part of the Barcelona public school system. That would never happen here in the states.
Thanks —again—, Garrison😎!
Have a really blessed Sunday❣️
Thanks for your kind words, Patience. I hope you have a blessed Sunday, also. 🙂
WE SING FOR ALL THE UNSUNG SAINTS
After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. And they cried out in a loud voice:
“Salvation belongs to our God,
who sits on the throne,
and to the Lamb.”
All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying:
“Amen!
Praise and glory
and wisdom and thanks and honor
and power and strength
be to our God for ever and ever.
Amen!”
Then one of the elders asked me, “These in white robes—who are they, and where did they come from?”
I answered, “Sir, you know.”
And he said, “These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
— Revelation 7:9-14
1. We sing for all the unsung saints, that countless, nameless throng,
Who kept the faith and passed it on with hope steadfast and strong.
Through all the daily griefs and joys no chronicles record,
Forgetful of their lack of fame, but mindful of their Lord.
2. Though uninscribed with date or place, with title, rank, or name,
As living stones their stories join to form a hallowed frame.
Around the mystery in their midst: the Lamb once sacrificed,
the love that wrested life from death, the wounded, risen Christ.
3. So we take heart from unknown saints, bereft of earthly fame,
Those faithful ones who have received a more enduring name:
For they reveal true blessing comes when we our pride efface
And offer back our lives to be the vessels of God’s grace.
Good morning 1530!
Hi GrandpaM.
Good morning, 1530.
Good morning, Betsy.

Have a blessed Sunday, Treepers. Of late I’ve been thinking about my 55 year marriage with the women who became the love of my life. My students used to ask me what the secret was for having a lasting love relationship. I used to teasingly tell them to reduce their expectations . . .
As time went on, however, I began thinking more seriously about the question. While our relationship was not perfect, was quite rocky at times, there were fundamental values that we both practiced. I’ve mentioned these before: trust and loyalty.
The other day I realized that there was another essential value that linked the first two together. for a long time my wife suffered from emotional problems that randomly appeared. When she was fighting her demons, I often felt despair because I couldn’t help her. As the years went on, I realized something important. When her demons appeared she would turn into herself and make them go away. Over time I realized a truth. Even though I couldn’t help her in those times, she always came back.
What I was seeing was the other element of a lasting love relationship. For 55 years my wife had these burdens but she never gave up. The third element of our lasting love relationship was this: she always did her best. She never quit. She always came back. Nomatter what happened, we never gave up.
Trust, loyalty, and never giving up are the essential elements of a lasting love relationship.
Beautiful said, Garrison!
For better, for worse,
for richer, for poorer,
in sickness, and in health…
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Amen!!
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
The three most essential elements of any marriage, Garrison.
I’ve always compared lasting relationships to those coal fires we knew so well in our beloved Wales. At first the flames burn brightly, but then fall away to the sustaining substances which are the essence of the warmth and heat which are so comforting. The most important elements which you so beautifully express, without which no relationship can survive.
I remember you said your anniversary was in November, but not the date. You chose some poignant pieces to commemorate those years together, especially the last one. Bless you, my friend. I feel how much you miss her.🙏💕
Garrison, my whole heart in your words, Sir. I used to be the Head Greeter of a large Mega Church in Southern California. A couple who manned our doors faithfully, was married for 53 years at the time that I asked them the same question. What makes your marriage work?
They gently patted my hand and said:
Love is cyclical. There will be times when you can’t stand each other. Happens when living in close proximity. However, if you just hold on and wait, the anger disappears and the love comes back. Then, all the hard times just become shared memories. The love comes back.
I am sure it is imperative to be always focusing on the love part. When times get especially tough for me and my teen daughter, I am always encouraging her to try to look for God’s blessings, God’s miraculous works in nature, God’s message in the clouds. A good word. A good deed (do one yourself if you can’t find anybody doing one.) But, we must always set our eyes to the Good. Then, we can see it when it comes back.
I’m so sorry for your loss. She is Heaven’s gain and I believe fully you will see her again in her glorious perfection where there is no more pain or suffering. God is so good to us!
Good morning, JWoo. What a beautiful, heartfelt post….every word a glorious, heaven inspired truth. Blessings to you and your beloved daughter.🙏
Thank you, Betsy. You are a gem here.
Garrison – I am sure you know you are still holding each other’s hands
I always described Doc and my relationship as being like a team pulling in the same direction. Sometimes one can pull while the other coasts a bit, but we are still together. Because of that trust we always ‘know’ we can rely on each other. We seem always to be working together to solve whatever problems come our way.
And I do know what you mean about the demons. In your case I suspect that what you were able to do is provide a ‘safe harbor’ for your wife while she fought her demons. Being there and caring is how (and why) she always came back IMHO
My first marriage was the exact opposite – we seemed to be always tugging at each other. Maybe it didn’t fall in the category of ‘fighting’, but we never understood our unhappiness with each other.
Wishing you and all our wonderful treepers a Blessed Sunday
Garrison, thank you for your shared insight and soulful music selections.
-Together they tell so much; as intended.

My heartfelt thanks to Gramps, jay, Marti, Bet, JWoo, ms Idaho, Patience . . . everyone really . . . for you kind words and wishes.
I think when a loved one passes it’s only natural to think about those signal moments and times where you were both defined. Several months ago, my wife turned to me and asked me why I married her? Me being me, I told her the full story of how i first found her and then fell in love . . . Then I asked her why she married me? “Because you asked me,” she replied. Enough said. 🙂
Once again….
-you make (yes, make) me smile.

Intimate Theology
Do you believe this? —John 11:26
Martha believed in the power available to Jesus Christ; she believed that if He had been there He could have healed her brother; she also believed that Jesus had a special intimacy with God, and that whatever He asked of God, God would do. But— she needed a closer personal intimacy with Jesus. Martha’s theology had its fulfillment in the future. But Jesus continued to attract and draw her in until her belief became an intimate possession. It then slowly emerged into a personal inheritance— “Yes, Lord, I believe that You are the Christ…” (John 11:27).
Is the Lord dealing with you in the same way? Is Jesus teaching you to have a personal intimacy with Himself? Allow Him to drive His question home to you— “Do you believe this?” Are you facing an area of doubt in your life? Have you come, like Martha, to a crossroads of overwhelming circumstances where your theology is about to become a very personal belief? This happens only when a personal problem brings the awareness of our personal need.
To believe is to commit. In the area of intellectual learning I commit myself mentally, and reject anything not related to that belief. In the realm of personal belief I commit myself morally to my convictions and refuse to compromise. But in intimate personal belief I commit myself spiritually to Jesus Christ and make a determination to be dominated by Him alone.
Then, when I stand face to face with Jesus Christ and He says to me, “Do you believe this?” I find that faith is as natural as breathing. And I am staggered when I think how foolish I have been in not trusting Him earlier.
WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
The great thing about faith in God is that it keeps a man undisturbed in the midst of disturbance.

Annnd a blessed Sunday to all!!!! ✝️
Happy and Blessed Sunday, Cat❣️
I apologize for being selfish, but could use a few good thoughts or prayers.
Currently have a couple kidney stones. Unfortunately have a history of getting them rather frequently regardless of diets I attempt to lessen the issue. My body seems to be a kidney stone factory. Lol.
Obviously not a huge deal, but damn do these things hurt(and the nausea/vomiting, oof)
Anyway, I plan on voting Tuesday. Watching the Dems still have complete control would be far more painful than the kidney stones.
Done.
Have a great time at the Polls, Outer.
Maybe get your hands on a walker w/ a seat, or something. Just keep yourself as comfortable as can be and bask in the joy of voting these f*ckers out of office.
Have you tried taking Allopurinol? Some of our patients with chronic kidney stones were helped by taking this medication. If you haven’t tried it check with your doctor to see if it may be an option for you.
Hope you feel better soon!
The gout stuff? The side effects can be rough, but not as rough as stones.
I can laugh about this story now. I had been taking gout medications for about a year and no gout. I had always been a bit skeptical that I had gout, but what I had went away, so good is good. I had gotten a new family doctor and was getting a checkup. At the end he asked if there was anything else. I told him about the severe leg pain that I had every morning. He siad that was a possible side effect of the allopurinol. I told him about the skepticism over the gout diagnosis and he suggested that I stop and see what happened. Within days, the pain was gone and my uric acid levels never came back up. I was told that it never goes away and that I would have to treat it for life. Of course, if I never really had it. . . . .
Same-ish story about my husband, who developed a really bloodshot eye, the redness of which would not go away. He saw an ophthalmologist who put him on medication and drops and his told him he’d need to be on these both FOREVAH!!! Fast forward, he needed an expensive refill, but by this time, his doctor had retired…so I added lutein every day to our supplements while we tried to find another doctor.
Funny thing, though, his eye problem never returned…we stopped looking, along with abandoning those pricey meds. It has been years since and no recurrence.
Makes you wonder, and the trust quotient just diminished further.
So glad your “gout” disappeared, VM. I knew someone with it and he said it was possibly the most excruciating day to day pain he had ever experienced. Not nice at all.
Man that sucks! Hang in there.
Saying a prayer for you. 🙏🏻
🇺🇸🙏🏻🇺🇸
Praying for your relief from these stones. We all need to vote to get rid of the EVIL that has taken control of our country.
There is no better place to come, Outer Limits, when you need support. I had one one time so I understand how terribly painful they are…little razor blades.
Water, water, water to flush them away….and keep them away. A couple of tablespoons of apple cider vinegar in an 8oz glass is said to help. But search for “kidney stone natural treatments” to see if any such will help until you can get medical attention.
In any event, until you see a doctor keep drinking water to stay hydrated. And of course we all offer our prayers that this painful misery will pass soon 🙏
Not selfish asking for prayer OL – happy to help anytime – 🙏🙏🙏. 🧚🏻♀️🧚🏻♀️🧚🏻♀️. ❤️❤️❤️
Some suggestions here might help…

What a great 20′ film. A day in the life of the coldest place on earth.
I love watching stuff like this. Thank you for sharing it.
Meanwhile it was in the 80s here in Virginia.
sheesh it was hot up there today!
Sounds maybe hotter than N. Florida!
Arian is crazy good at chopping wood.
Wish he’d been my neighbor when I lived up North!
Have a blessed Sunday all!
You folks in Florida, be on your toes. Here comes the storm Joe Bastardi warned about last week and he thinks it will be a hurricane and at this time believes it will come ashore between Miami and Cape Canaveral. Believe this one will be named Nichole.
Snow comes! Out west has been getting theirs and ours further east along the northern tier is coming. In two weeks essentially the whole US will be having temps below average for that time of year. Check out what the CFSv2 model ensemble is now showing for week 2. In doing so understand that these models do not see cold as well as they do warm and thus your bias should be towards conditions for your area actually being a bit colder than shown and that the cold will spread further than is shown.
Also notice the precipitation for week 2.
Week 3&4 (not shown) shows it warming up again but I don’t believe that for a minute.
Thanks for sharing, Rah.
We sold our house in January 2021 and are in a rental community in Whitestown. Aluminum garages that freeze everything within during the winter. I purchased that foam insulation for the garage doors and now need to seal the two windows — trying to block some of the winds that force temps lower. The garage is so flimsy and the rent at $1800 plus a month — I do more maintenance here than I care to admit. Grrrr. Energy costs have stayed low for the moment, but I’ve prepared with interior no emission tabletop generators that I can run a portable heater at the lowest setting on. Won’t keep us tropical – but it will keep us safe with sweatshirts and blankets. God help us Treepers and keep us all safe.
Amen…as seniors we really feel the cold, but especially my hard headed husband, who has resisted my suggestion that he get some thermals. But miracle of miracles, some arrived the other day, 2 sets, he had sneakily ordered.
We are worried, along with everyone else about the bills this winter. Sheer deliberately cruel, hateful energy policy by malignant, delusional know nothings whose salaries we pay and who will be toasty warm no doubt.
Betsy, it’s when we lean in to our faith in God that He will never leave us or forsake us. He works all things (ALL things) for our good. Romans 8:28.
We can’t panic. Can’t let the evil ones see us sweat. When they conquer our minds, that’s when they think they have won. It’s better to just laugh at them. devil is a defeated foe.
Spring forward . . . FALL BACK.
Time to change our clocks.
Have a blessed Sunday everyone!!!

The holy Scriptures … are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. II Tim. 3:15

“Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor. For if either of them falls, the one will lift up his companion. But woe to the one who falls when there is not another to lift him up. Furthermore, if two lie down together they keep warm, but how can one be warm alone? And if one can overpower him who is alone, two can resist him. A cord of three strands is not quickly torn apart.”
Friends can help you accomplish more than you could achieve on your own; companions can help in times of need; partners can bring comfort; and friends can provide protection in difficult situations.

God Has the Plan; Let’s Use His Plan!By Glynn Adams|November 6th, 2022
“We must get in on the plan of God because we can see what man’s plans and church has done to America and her citizens!!! Jesus is clear in John 15:4-5, 7-8, “Abide in Me, and I in you as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him bears much fruit for without Me you can do nothing. ……If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire and it shall be done for you. By this My Father is glorified that you bear much fruit so you will be My disciples”

“Beyond Meat where the Chief Operating Officer has been suspended and arrested after allegedly biting a man’s nose and threatening to kill him. Beyond Meat, the plant-based vegan substitute for real food, is cutting about 20 percent of its work force amid abysmal sales reports. Just a couple of months ago the company projected a 12 percent growth for 2022, to between $470 million and $520 million, but instead revenue has plunged and it now expects a 10 percent decline in sales to a 2022 revenue of between $400 million and $425 million.”
Lifetime large city dweller, moving rural, my first client had bumper sticker on their truck, No Farms No Food. Made me stop & take stock. This year saw it shortened & intensified on another bumper, Farm Or Die .
That first client, my work increased her crop yields more than double. Not a commercial producer, hers is a family plot. More, my work was focused on creating her, ‘Pleasure Grounds’ on acreage. How did I do this? Not the ridiculous USA horticulture degree obtained. Had to go off to Europe for decades, studying historic gardens.
She got the gardens designed, the perfect template, since before Christ. At root, low meadow next to trees, all as native as possible. This potent combo, did the magic in her vegetable garden. How? POLLINATORS.
Move along a few decades from studying historic gardens across Europe, aka now, the choice to use historic garden design, is cutting edge, again, for the newest verbiage, CARBON SEQUESTRATION.
Quote, at top, a resource given from client mentioned, https://www.thelunaticfarmer.com/blog/11/5/2022/vicious-vegans .
Designing her garden many years ago, included Friday Farm Stand. It’s what I saw/experienced at the gardens I was studying across Europe. She’s raising heirloom livestock on organic pastures, has bee hives, and vegetables, dahlias, all for sale to her private list. My freezer is stocked !
What survives in beautiful landscapes after centuries? Meadow next to woodland, and a stone focal point. Why is this important? POLLINATOR HABITAT & CARBON SEQUESTRATION. Also, it’s where Garden Design starts.
Design your hedges next. Will stop, you have enough to do, with the above.
Garden & Be Well…………..
Can you give me a quick answer? If not, no problem. I have cleared a lot of an overgrown mobile home and invasive brush. My plan was to sow grass, but I have recently been considering a wild flower patch. It is about 1/3 of an acre with full morning sun. Any suggestions? I am in southern Kentucky.
“Delicious Knowledge
I keep turning her words around, savoring their truth:
“What is good is not just a matter of what we know but *how* we live it out…
Habits and rituals reflect and cement what we worship;
what we worship determines the purpose of our lives.”

PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
Blessings to you, dear duchess, on this, the Lord’s day.🙏
PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD
Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.
I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow, that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.
Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.
With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.
Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me.
Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ.
AMEN.
Righteous Father in heaven,
I know that there is a dark force out there that is opposed to You and to me. It is an invisible enemy who make try to discourage us or use others to do the same. Please help me to recognize when I’m under spiritual attacks so that I can be prepared to use the armor that You have provided for me and I also ask for Your protection for my family and from those in the local body of Christ. It seems that the world is growing more wicked every day and is a lot like Noah’s day when all they thought about was doing evil. It is getting harder every day Lord to live for You so help me to resist the temptation to compromise and to stand firm on what I know is true and in the glorious name of Jesus Christ I pray.
Amen.
Amen!
Amen!
Amen.
Mornin’ all!
there are NO fossils in the fuel
the only fossil is on the sign

Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered!!!
My COVID coping mechanism was to write a Shakespeare-themed comic novel, which I finished last month. I’m offering the ebook version free today (Sunday) till midnight PT. I wrote a book recasting Hamlet as the 2020 election, and a good number of you downloaded it. I also keep a Shakespeare-themed blog at abardseyeview.com
Forgive me for touting this new book. It’s titled, We’ll Always Have Verona, and here’s the blurb:
“When visiting aliens become entranced with human culture, they set out to see what Shakespeare’s greatest characters would be like in person. But after they re-create Juliet as an advanced A.I., they need a body for the tragic heroine. And that’s where Denny’s waitress Remy Martin comes in.
‘Wherefore art – I?’ was Juliet’s first question. The answer was, slinging hash in Charlotte, North Carolina. After the Veronese heiress gets used to her new job, and century, Juliet’s compulsion to find Romeo leads her to attend a performance of her own play, where she soon finds herself on stage portraying – herself. This places Remy on stage as well, locked inside her own mind while Juliet is controlling her body.
In We’ll Always Have Verona, which begins with this performance, Remy is given the chance to review her own life and marriage from the perspective of Romeo & Juliet as it is being performed all around her, Each scene conjures a parallel to her own life; the lovers’ poetic meeting is interspersed with the conversation Remy had with her husband when he first asked her out; Mercutio’s Queen Mab speech reflects a bittersweet seduction that befell her best friend Belle; the lovers’ parting at daybreak reminds Remy of the day her husband was called up for deployment to Afghanistan…
In the process, Remy sees what she, and we, and our relationships, look like through the eyes of Western literature’s foremost romantic heroine.”
And any of you who bite, and like it, may I ask you to leave a review? It’s important in getting the title seen by others. The Amazon link is here: https://www.amazon.com/Well…
Did a few pages and so far it’s looking good! Gonna pick up my delivery(ordered a new 45 ACP( https://gritrsports.com/shooting/firearms/pistols/45-acp/ ) from and try to finish it after 😀

I just watched the rest of President Trump’s speech in Latrobe, PA. Wonderful to hear from our President. Dear Lord we pray in Jesus that you protect President Trump, his family and all the loyal patriots that surround him and serve you. Lord we pray for this land and our world. Come Lord Jesus, we love you!
I was shocked to see that Kenneth Copeland was invited to pray!
He is a Word of Faith Preacher,
https://www.lighthousetrailsresearch.com/blog/?p=28318
He was awesome!!!!
…. and then came our National Anthem ❣
I am now teaching through Lamentations. Today is Chapter 3 where I find this:
42 “We have transgressed and rebelled,
and you have not forgiven.
43 “You have wrapped yourself with anger and pursued us,
killing without pity;
44 you have wrapped yourself with a cloud
so that no prayer can pass through.
45 You have made us scum and garbage
among the peoples.
There has recent publicity around and Atlantic article that seeks forgiveness for the wrongs inflicted against people duing the horrible overreaction to Covid. We do not want to forgive even though God says that we must. However, even God would sometimes administer judgement before forgiveness. Righteous justice is as necessary as grace and only God has the wisdom to perfectly dispense either.
STRENGTHEN MY HEART
Have mercy on me, my Lord and my God;
For I am distressed – in chains I am shod;
My tears flow like rivers – raging from strain;
My heart is pierced – my throat aches in pain!
My life spent in sorrow – and in deep regret;
My sins are before me – I cannot forget;
In repentance I seek You – for right relief;
Your loving kindness is – my refuge – belief!
Lord – affliction – has broken down my strength;
From helplessness, stress – I suffer at length;
My foes have encompassed me – all around;
They ravage me daily – destruction bound!
I trust in You, Lord – take comfort in You;
Come to my aid – Lord – Refresh me anew;
My life is in Your hands – if it be Your Will;
Calm the waters – from their raging – be still!
Feed me – knead me – with Your nourishing grace;
Through faith without fear – my weakness erase;
Infuse me with courage – and strengthen me;
Help me be steadfast – a stronghold like Thee!
Let me be glad and rejoice in Your love;
Assured in Your goodness sent from above;
Let me not – for one moment – be fearful;
Keep me far from unsure – doubtful – tearful!
Free me from distress – of body and mind;
Help me walk self-assured – no longer blind;
With my life in Your hands – deliver me;
From the throes of my foes – let me be free!
Strengthen My Heart – as only You know how;
Pour forth Your knowledge – understanding now;
Send in Your angels – with reinforcements;
Lift up my spirit – in inch increments!
Send forth Your Spirit – to enlighten me;
With knowledge – understanding – wisdom be;
A tower of strength – instilled in my heart;
Let not Your Spirit – from me ere depart!
Strengthen My Heart – my Lord and my King;
Let the indwelling Spirit – His power bring;
Your justice – Oh Lord – from on high rain down;
Let Your Heavenly Grace – be forever my crown!

I was raised a Methodist. Still consider myself one.
Methodism was different from the Southern Baptists that are the larger congregation in GA. The focus was much more on the Holy Spirit + God’s positive work in our lives. Far less about Lucifer + the negatives.
A good book that examines Wesley’s works + this line is available on the Kindle or read for free online

lilbirdee12’s prayer:
Our Heavenly Father, Your children come to you tonight to ask for healing and peace throughout our country so that we may return to being One Nation Under God. Guide us to be leaders in Your Kingdom, spreading Your Love and Salvation to all. Forgive us our sins and deliver us from evil.
Lord, we ask for a blanket of protection over all our troops and law enforcement who serve to defend and protect us. Bless our representatives with the strength and wisdom they need to achieve the path You have chosen for us.
Please place Your Guardian Angels of Protection around Donald Trump and his family as they seek to lead America back to You. Also, we pray for Angels to protect and support our Sundance as he works for justice and peace.
Grant us patience, Lord, as the evil ones try to anger us and cause us to fall. Spread blessings over Israel and Netanyahu.
We humbly ask that You please comfort those who are grieving and in pain.
And prayers up for all political prisoners. Prayers up for Julian Assange and for all the protesters of January 6 who were or are entrapped in DC. And, thank you, Lord, for restoring Pastor Pawlowski.
Thank you Father, for Your love and the gift of Life.
In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
Amen.
Dear Andeclain, my silly alarm clock stopped after I set it back an hour. I didn’t realize that happened and when I looked at it, it said 6:30, so I didn’t bother to check if you had posted. Well, I guess two times is better than no times. 🙂
This Spring forward Fall back stuff can be a real nuisance! Hope the alarm clock settles down again.
Amen
Amen.
✝️ Lord, thank You for the day. Amen.
